Today we wrap up the topic of the newly discovered hoard of Sands casino TR King chips that were found and shown online. These chips are originally from 1962 and are brand NEW. I spoke with a few well known collectors, one being James Campiglia and we talked about the possibility of these being the real chips or some that were re-produced like another collector and I thought. After discussing on the phone with James we looked at the order card that is on ChipGuide and found out that the Sands had ordered 30,000 chips in 1962. 20,000 of those chips being $5s, 7,500 of them being $25s and 2,500 of them being $100s. That is a LOT of chips and was basically a brand new order for the whole casino. Swap out the old ones and replace them with these. The casino most likely didn't need to use all of the chips so there was an overstock in inventory which can give us the possibility of there being many racks of these brand new minty chips out there. Not only the $5s, but the $25s and $100s are possibilities because I'm sure they weren't using all of the chips. I'd like to say that these are real and considering that they have the leaded weight to them as well. Chips that were made later on might not have been the same weight as formulas, compositions and other factors change with regulations. This is some insane stuff that has happened, but it was bound to happen with the hobby. Hope you enjoy!
